John Carpenter & Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies – Halloween: The Complete Expanded Collection – CD

John Carpenter returned to film scoring after nearly twenty years to work on David Gordon Green’s recent Halloween trilogy, collaborating closely with his long-time creative partners Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. Together, they crafted the music for 2018’s Halloween, 2021’s Halloween Kills, and 2022’s Halloween Ends, blending the familiar menace of Carpenter’s classic themes with fresh, inventive textures.

Davies’ distinctive bowed guitar work, notably on ‘The Shape Hunts Allyson,’ added a new sonic dimension, while Cody’s meticulous arranging grounded the group’s adventurous ideas. The trio’s interplay brought a broader palette and greater musical audacity than Carpenter could have imagined when scoring the original film in 1978.

These expanded soundtrack editions capture that creative energy in full, presenting the complete music from each film in the trilogy. Available individually or as part of the Halloween Expanded Trilogy collection, they offer a definitive portrait of Carpenter’s return to the world he first scored more than four decades ago.
